Imagine conducting ambient music in mid-air. It's like Minority Report, but instead of solving crimes you’re just gently adjusting your nervous system.
For #FigmaMakeathon I built Airwwave (AR) in #FigmaMake: a fullscreen performance instrument where gestures become live ambient soundscapes. It’s built to feel like conducting, not clicking.
Video is long because it’s a performance piece. I’m still hunting bugs, improving responsiveness, and cross browser performance until deadline.
Features: 28 ambient loops (hosted on Cloudinary), 12s fade in/out, 7-step LCD onboarding with 0–100% hold bar, 2-hand tracking + skeleton, 28 pads.
Gestures/FX: select + trigger, speed, reverb, octave, lock, stereo width + pan, tremolo/echo motion, filter resonance, volume shaping.

Liked colors, and minimal, kinda "Swiss" &/ "Rams" kind of design & vibe! 👍

Glad to see you here, Lee. Nice work btw
You too Alex. I’m just getting my profile setup here on Contra. After I’m done on this project, I’ll be dropping lots of case studies 😅

dieter rams would be happy
Well not if he knew how much electricity I used to create it 😝

This looks amazing but using it is quite difficult
Yeah, I get that. But once you get the hang of turning a few sounds on and off, it starts to feel natural. The other thing is that there's no right or wrong way of using it, in the sense that you don't need musical training. Once the sounds are playing, it's about pushing the...

oh this is SIIIICK
Thanks Madi :)
New autoplay mode just dropped. Two minutes of expressive hand conducted sound bending. No clicks. No loops. No “press play and hope.”
Under the hood it’s slightly unhinged (in a good way). Sounds trigger at random intervals, for random durations, with random crossfades, but...
